FortiWeb web application firewall defends your web applications and APIs, leveraging AI-based machine learning that models your applications and APIs to block malicious anomalies, control bot traffic, and identify the most important threats.
Overview
FortiWeb WAF defends your web applications and APIs using a multi-layered approach that intelligently and accurately protects your web applications from the OWASP Top 10 threats and more, without creating excess administrative overhead that can slow down deployment of your most critical line-of-business applications. Using AI-based machine learning, FortiWeb continuously and automatically models your application's behavior to:
- Identify and block malicious behavior
- Discover and protect exposed web APIs
- Identify and control bot traffic
- NEW identify attack patterns across your entire web application attack surface and aggregate them into security incidents across all FortiWeb and FortiWeb Cloud protected applications in a single Threat Analytics Dashboard (when you purchase the Advanced Bundle*) so that SOC analysts can focus on the threats that matter most. Combined with Fortinet Web Application Security Service from FortiGuard Labs, FortiWeb keeps your applications safe from vulnerability exploits, bots, malware uploads, DoS attacks, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and zero day attacks.
Highlights
- EFFECTIVE and ACCURATE protection that leverages machine learning to identify and block malicious behavior, discover and protect exposed web APIs, and identify and control bot traffic while minimizing the false positives that drive administrative overhead
- INTEGRATED with FortiGate, FortiSandbox, and leading third-party vulnerability scanners for enhanced zero-day threat protection and virtual application patching
- *NEW* ADVANCED THREAT ANALYTICS that help your SOC analysts focus on the threats that matter most by using the Threat Analytics Dashboard to identify attack patterns across all your cloud and on-prem deployments

What do you like best about the product?
FortiAppSec Cloud provides impressive automated protection by leveraging advanced AI to ensure strong web application security. It is highly effective at detecting and mitigating threats autonomously, which reduces the need for constant manual intervention. The deployment process is straightforward, and the platform integrates smoothly with existing cloud environments, making security management both simple and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial configuration can be somewhat complex, particularly for those setting it up for the first time. This is especially true when it comes to fine-tuning custom security policies, which may require additional effort. Additionally, although the dashboards provide useful information, the reporting features lack flexibility. More customizable options would be helpful for users who need detailed analytics or have specific compliance requirements.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FortiAppSec addresses two critical challenges in my web application: the expanding, invisible API attack surface and the complexity of traditional WAF management. It solves the visibility issue by automatically discovering and cataloging all API endpoints through analysis of live traffic, providing complete command over all exposed assets. Furthermore, it simplifies operations by deploying as a cloud service in minutes via a simple DNS change, which significantly reduces operational overhead and allows teams to focus on strategy rather than continuous, complex WAF tuning.
